Glands are of two types. The exocrine glands have ducts to carry their secretions and these secretions contain enzymes. on the other hand, endocrine glands are ductless glands and they secrete mainly horomones.

The endomembrane system is composed of the different membranes that are suspended in the cytoplasm within a eukaryotic cell. These membranes divide the cell into functional and structural compartments or organelles. In eukaryotes, the organelles of the endomembrane system include the nuclear membrane, the endoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, vesicles, endosomes and the cell membrane, among others.

While plant cells have chloroplasts to photosynthesize, they also require ATP for cellular functions, and do use oxygen to break down some of the sugar they produce in order to generate that ATP. They need mitochondria for this.

In particular, at night when there is no light, plants undergo cellular respiration since there is no sunlight to photosynthesize.

They do, however, produce far more sugar and oxygen through photosynthesis than they use up in respiration.

Ribosomes are present in prokaryotic cells. These are organelles which consist of two subunits. They are present in both Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic cells. They are made up of RNA and proteins and present in the cytoplasm and on the membranes and are involved in protein synthesis.

Because arteries have to have thick walls for use of protection. Its when you get to veins where the walls get thinner. And the use of the heart is to pump blood to all of the cells and organs in the body so it would be to transport blood away from the heart.
